I’m a huge fan of one-pot meals. One word: laziness. Since my kitchen always looks like a tornado blew through when I’m cooking, it’s nice to have a meal that minimizes the wreckage called dirty dishes. And so this meal is perfect.
All ingredients go into one pot and you come away with only a handful of dishes. This is a great dish for those that like various kinds of protein and meat mixed together – you can increase or decrease any of the amounts (of chicken, shrimp, sausage) and it will still taste amazing. It’s also a great dish for company as it requires minimal work but produces a large amount of food.
Happy Thursday and thanks for reading!
ONE POT SHRIMP, CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE JAMBALAYA
Yield: 6-7 servings
INGREDIENTS
2 T olive oil
1 lb cubed chicken*
9 oz chopped Italian sausage*
1 T olive oil
2 onions, sliced
1-2 peppers (orange or green)
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 c uncooked white rice
5 c chicken broth
3 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp thyme
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
26 oz chopped tomatoes, undrained
15 large shrimp, cooked
*You can use pre-cooked chicken and sausage but add with rice
DIRECTIONS
In a large pot, heat olive oil. If using raw chicken and sausage, add chicken first and cook until pink is gone from the outside. Add sausage and cook until completely cooked through and neither meat is pink in the center. Add 1 T olive oil, onions, peppers and garlic and cook for 10 minutes or until onions are soft. Add rice, broth, paprika, thyme, chili powder, cayenne, red pepper and tomatoes and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, cover and turn heat to low. Simmer for 30 minutes on low, checking on pot periodically to make sure broth isn’t completely absorbed. Rice will absorb broth while cooking. After rice is cooked, add shrimp and lightly mix into jambalaya. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
Take care when serving jambalaya – there may be parts stuck to the bottom of the pot that are slightly burned. To avoid these areas, do not scrape the bottom.
Every season I find some new trend to love. This spring/summer it’s cold shoulder tops. Initially and a bit hesitantly, they made their debut last year throughout a few stores here and there but this season, they’ve appeared full-fledged in every single store. You can spot them everywhere from Nordstrom to TJ Maxx to Target. And best of all,…
If you’re looking for a refreshing lemonade to make, then try this strawberry mint lemonade! Because of my lemon anti-fandom growing up, lemonade was never my beverage of choice. It wasn’t until a few years ago that I truly started appreciating it. It’s such a great drink for summer and perfect to ward off heat….
When I think of smoothies, I think summer – fresh breezes and sun kissed days by the pool. But in reality, smoothies are healthy treats to enjoy year-round, even when the weather is foul and cold. These smoothies are easy to throw together and use four fruits: bananas, mangos, peaches, and coconut for flavor. Sometimes…
“This post was sponsored by Libbey as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review.” 4 days until Christmas and then the festivities begin. Technically, though, the festivities start tomorrow when my mom and sisters come over and we bake cookies like we’ve never baked before. We…
Remember when I thought these gluten free coconut pancakes were the best ever? Well, I take that back. Today’s pancake recipe beats them hands down. These are much much easier to work with and for those that despise coconut, they do not contain an ounce of the stuff. I think they taste almost exactly like normal pancakes,…
This French onion soup is a favorite in our house, especially during the cold winter months. Caramelizing the onions makes for a sweeter soup (and let’s face it, no one likes onion breath). This mixture of deliciousness is then topped with baguette slices and cheese and is broiled. The outcome is superb and you won’t…
